Gaming

Now generally I'm not that into video games and such, it has to be something REALLY good to hold my attention. To few games actually have a solid storyline and even fewer are actually decent. 

I mean how skimpy do the clothes have to be to attract attention? Whatever happened to modesty? Or decency? I mean I'm not that old, only 20, and even I remember a time when it was inappropriate to wear vulgar images on t-shirts, parents had a control on how short was TOO short and how low was TOO low!!! It's sad to see girls just showing everything, because one way or another they will get hurt and is it really any wonder they are taken advantage of?

Anyway gone off track from what I wanted to write about. It's probably better cause my original plan wasn't all that interesting!

I was just homes cycle through the things I do when I feel like falling through the floor from pain and exhaustion!

If you've scrolled through just about any previous post you've seen my knitting and crochet. I find it super relaxing and it also helps keeps my fingers and wrists from freezing up.  

But on the less technical side of things, or maybe it's more technical cause it has to do with technology?

*please keep in mind this is NOT a sponsored post, I just really like telling you guys what I'm up to

But I've been playing these three games HEAPS!!! Anyone who actually knows me, knows that I am a die hard HTTYD, fantasy, and dragons-in-general fan!!! So I've been playing this game since the day it came out! It's strangely addictive considered it's passive gameplay. It's one of those games that you do a bunch of stuff, wait a few hours and then do some more stuff. But then again I might be biased due to its HTTYD nature!

Dragons: Rise of Berk

I'm only a recent comer to this game but (like all the other games on the post) strangely addictive! I am (can you guess?) a die hard superhero fan! Except for superman, he is far to cliched and overpowered! And I'm aware that would probably kill every other DC fan but it's the TRUTH!!!

But this game is MARVEL made. And it's awesome. You get to formulate your own team, upgrade your individual heroes and then fight them against your opponents. There is a internet fighting arena against other people but I don't really do that. It's fun on its own and it has a great range of heroes available to win or buy and although a lot of it seems to run on actual cash you can have a decent time without spending a cent!

Marvel: Contest of Champions

This is Panda Pop. And although it's probably been around for awhile I have only recently discovered it and play it WAY too much. Since taking this picture a few days ago I have progressed to level 147!! Which I am slightly ashamed of (insert cheeky grin here). 

What do you do when your sick? Or in hospital? Do you play any video/tablet games?

And if anyone actually reads this PLEASE give me a shout on my Facebook page of the same name (meaning Brightly Burst) I'm not sure that anyone actually pays attention!

Busy resting!

Might sound like a bit of an oxymoron to most people, but for anyone like me it's quite common. 

Even when I'm doing nothing I find it difficult to actually turn my brain off!!!

I'm the kind of person who likes to be doing something even if it's just writing or reading or drawing. 

But lupus leaves little space for simply pushing through the day, for most people you push through the day and sleep in a little the next day or just take it easy. But for anyone with lupus or diseases like it, it's difficult to just keep going. 

Your body demands rest, or shuts down and you end up in hospital. 

I've been in hospital twice over the last three months with undiagnosable kidney weirdness.

I've had multiple ultrasounds, blood tests, even a hesitant CT scan. But the doctors still don't know what's wrong. 

Because of where we live I have to go to Joondalup Health Campus. 

The only upside is "The Buttery" cafe across the street. BEST banana (and golden syrup) cake ever!!!! And they also do a phenomenal sour cream and nectarine cake!!! SO EPIC!!! 

But the hospital is mainly for accidents, no renal team.

So I have after being in hospital October onwards, I'm just waiting for an appointment at Charlie Gardner Hospital with a kidney specialist there. 

Waiting is TORTURE!!! 

It's so frustrating not to know what's going on in my guts!!!

------------------

Well I started writing with 'holidays' as my intention. I never write much when life gets busy, it's simply not a priority. 

It's times like these I sit back and tell myself to:

As in the opposite of overwhelmed (any young justice fan should understand).

Anyways, my birthday is the 23rd so that was fun. Got some AWESOME T2 products including the following tea and a gorgeous Gardiner teapot and cup set. 

And here comes my Christmas Eve pumpkin. 

If there was such a thing, but I made him on Christmas Eve so I suppose it works. 

Either way it's cute, I'm going to make a little garden to go around him and hopefully end up with a little character to live there.

And finally here are my gloves in progress. I could never find tipless crochet glove patterns. I'm sure I'm not the pioneer, but on the off chance that I am, what are the chances no one thought of this before??? 

To anyone whose reading, how was your Christmas? Any special Christmas projects? Crochet or otherwise?
